How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Alkerton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Alkerton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Alkerton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Alkerton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alkerton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Alkerton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
